I agree with this list. If given one more choice, it would be the Yellow 34 Gehrig.

In my humble opinion, I believe that any kind of Mt. Rushmore dedicated to baseball must include Jackie Robinson (or in this case, a card of Jackie). There are more important things than the dollar amount collectors are currently willing to pay for a given baseball card.

So, I nominate any one of the 1947 Jackie Robinson's Bond Bread Cards.

None of this per-sport stuff.

T206 Wagner
1952 Topps Mantle
1986 Fleer Jordan
2000 Playoff Contenders Championship Ticket Tom Brady

Trouts Bowman Superfractor should be considered.

1914 Mathewson Cracker Jack, anyone would love to own it in any condition.

I think the Wagner and Mantle are no-brainers.

From there I think you have to include the 1989 Upper Deck Griffey. It's the premier modern card and has defined an era.

Honestly if I had to pick a 4th card, it might be the 2001 Bowman Chrome Albert Pujols Autograph. It changed the hobby. And while vintage collectors might not want to hear it, it's as big a deal for modern collectors as pretty much any card would be for a vintage collector.
